Show of hands - who is EXCITED about Neil confirming that GO3 WILL BE filming in January 2025?!?! (me me me me me)

(I know, I know...We were all hoping for earlier. I know...it means that we likely won't see it on screen until Summer 2026.)

BUT. BUT!!! It also means that...in just a few short months...

-David will be dying his hair red.

-Michael will be dying his hair white.

-They will be getting into character and thinking *all day every day* about how much they love each other

-We will be able to fantasize with complete immunity about what's going on on set!!

-We will be getting BTS pics and other yummy snacks from social media!!!

-Imagine how many new and awesome fics there will be coming out then, and how many new exciting tumblr posts!! (I'm very much looking forward to being inspired to write/post more!)

That's a lot to look forward to, amirite??! <3

ps. did they find a new director yet?

I LOVE ONE CONSENT KING

Cross-country season has started! Fifa!talia is out, FIS!talia is in!

Most of the athletes on the GBR team are Scottish and they all live in Norway most of the year. Norwegians have such a love for them and some of them even speak Norwegian fluently. Two years ago, they lost funding from the UK government and it looked like they would have to quit skiing all-together. Then, rich Norwegians began sponsoring them and now they are training with a private Norwegian team and funded by Norwegians 💖

forever thinking about how michikatsu joined the demon slayer corps, created moon breathing, and unlocked a mark in a brief period of time, and yet...

his envy for yoriichi's abilities kept him blinded to his own talent – each time he spoke of himself, it was done so in comparison to his younger twin:

this was something that stemmed from the time he was a child, and witnessed how yoriichi felled their tutor with a wooden sword.

it isn't that he doesn't know how strong he is – i'm sure michikatsu, of all people, would be painfully aware of his own strengths and weaknesses. it was just that in the face of someone much stronger, a "one-of-a-kind prodigy"...

and most of all: a twin – a spitting-image reminder of how that could have been him if yoriichi was never born – there seemed no other way for him to define his own abilities without comparison.

in the same way that the glow of the moon cannot exist without reflecting off the brilliant light of the sun.

TOUCHSTARVED (Prologue)

[jmdbjk]

SUGA/Agust D, Rosemont, May 5, 2023

I told my family I met someone on the Internet and I’m gonna fly to Chicago by myself and land there at midnight and get from the airport to the hotel … in the middle of the night. And then the next day, I’m going to meet that person in-person at my hotel even though I’ve never seen them or heard their voice. 😳 It’ll be fine. 🤣🤣

I got myself to Chicago and it was uneventful except that I couldn’t figure out which seat was mine on the plane. Ha ha ha ha ha I accidentally sat in “first class” on the first leg of my flight on one of those small jets. This is “first class”… and y'all paid extra for that?

Then on my connecting flight we were packed like sardines on a real jet and I accidentally sat one row behind the one where I was supposed to be sitting. I’m a derp.

The hotel was great but I’ve never heard of a hotel property being shared by two different brands. Granted they’re both owned by the same corporation but still both hotels were housed within the same building. I stayed in the Staybridge Suites and the other half of the hotel was Holiday Inn. “When you get off the elevator go left for Staybridge and right for Holiday Inn.”

Anyway…The facility was brand spanking new and staff was excellent, especially the housekeeping staff, so I highly recommend.

And guess what floor I was on? Yes, 7th floor, room 717.

The hotel was less than a mile from ALLSTATE Arena. It was an easy walk. I could see it from my hotel room window.

Also, this on the property next to the hotel:

Paging BTS, where are you? There's 22 acres for sale just for you on Mannheim Road, Rosemont, Illinois.

I also saw the Daechwita car drive by!

Before we headed over to the arena, we went to a Korean BBQ place. My first experience and it was charcoal barbecue, so there was an actual little fire pit in the middle of our table. We had the usual 5 million side dishes and bulgogi. It was delicious. The Korean owners were very nice and attentive. A group of youngish Korean men came in. They had lanyards on but I couldn’t see what was on them. Could they have been Yoongi's staff?? Maybe! Or just a group of coworkers from nearby…

Truly the absolute best part of the whole trip was meeting this group of crazy people! Y'all are the best and made this whole trip one of the most awesome memories of my life! I am so thankful and I love you guys! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We got in line close to 5 o’clock at the entrance that was stated on our tickets. There were at least four entrances, each with lines this long that wound around the parking lot and around the building.

(they didn’t know I was jmdbjk 🤣)

The doors opened a few minutes before 6:30 and the line moved very very swiftly. The venue was very organized except if you were parking a car… it was a little outta control for them ha ha, ha ha ha ha.

One of the things we had hoped we would be able to do would be snag some freebies from fellow Army’s, and they did not disappoint!

We did not bother to try to get any concert merch because the lines were ridiculously long and people had been in them since early morning. Some said most items were sold out by the time they reached the booth. I would have wanted a t-shirt and I’m sure those went fast.

Merch booths were also set up inside the venue, and those lines were also long. We just went ahead and found our seats and sat down and waited for the concert to begin.

The venue was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, I think Allstate Arena capacity is about 20,000 for concerts.

Our seats were fantastic. I’m sure those who chose general admission had a great time down there but that’s not for me.

Yoongi looked amazing even though he was not feeling 100%. He still sounded very good but his voice was a little rough at first.

No one told me that the flames they used during the performance would give off so much heat! I could feel it even from where I was sitting every time they blasted!

Probably one of my favorite songs during the whole concert was Burn It...

The audience barked throughout the concert and Yoongi smiled in acknowledgement. We saw only one concert goer wearing a wedding dress, but did not see any marry me Yoongi signs.

More Yoongi pics:

As you can see, we had matchy-matchy tangerine hat people in front of us. But black seemed to be de rigueur with lots of fishnets on the legs, arms and body, stomper boots and purple hair. Red chopsticks in the hair, cat ears, black kimonos with gold metallic designs, leather pants and skirts and of course a lot of fan made t-shirts and concert merch t-shirts.

As far as the diversity of the crowd there were people of all ages, colors and genders. Male Army were represented well, all ages and ethnicities.

After the concert we hiked up and down Mannheim Road trying to find food, all the hotel restaurants were closed. I think we were also in a post-concert daze. We ended up right back across from the venue at a take-out pizza place called Rosati's. It was the best pizza ever because we were starving and we stood there and ate almost the whole thing straight out of the oven. STRETCHY CHEESE ROCKS!!

I don't think post-concert depression has set in yet. I am still high from the past three days. IT WENT BY SO FAST! My trip home was not as smooth as the one getting to Chicago. My first flight was delayed 2 hours. They changed my gate 5 times. Its a big airport. I got my steps in that day. I was almost late for my connecting flight in Dallas. I had to run to that gate, they were paging me for the last time. They slammed the plane door as soon as I got inside. And then we waited almost another 2 hours to take off because of these storms that arrived to DFW at the same time I did:

As usual, I wish I had taken MORE pictures and video but I was watching as much as I could with my own eyeballs and it now seems like a dream. It was over too fast. I am satisfied I was finally part of the purple ocean on May 5, 2023 but now I need to see all seven of them which is now #1 on my bucket list. Using all my universe manifesting, wishing, prayers, chakras, astrological readings, tarot cards and kumbaya to make it happen in 2025-2026.

IT HAS EVERYTHING:

a retcon so breathtakingly insane that it transcends the concepts of "good" and "bad"

the most sinister remix of gasolina by daddy yankee conceivable

jason momoa playing a villain with all the nuance and gravitas of an extra in The Birdcage (1996)

the vatican gets blown up a little bit

a "celebrity" cameo so awkward that it could melt the faces off of those with delicate constitutions

(Previous adventures in pizza delivery: a Death Stranding playthrough blog)

Scenery!

So I decided to postpone solving Mama and Lockne's family drama and Fragile-jumped to the shelter near Timefall farm (to the user who built that... you're a real one) to pick up a pizza order for my good friend Peter Englert

what kind of idiot has champagne with pizza??? Champagne you need to absolutely carry by hand? It's almost as if he does it on purpose just to annoy me personally

Did the guys at Timefall Farm do this artwork? Is there a Banksy figure in the post-Stranding world? Much to think about

Anyway it's a mildly annoying mission because having to hold the champagne in hand you cannot i.e. climb ladders so I had to take a few detours on my way to Peter's house but there's also a decent amount of roads built so I could go WHEEEE for a good chunk of it

"But Elisa," you might say. "In the previous post you hinted at this mission being stressful and it doesn't really look like it?"

It's because at some point I checked my mail and found this:

OH SO YOU CAN? WALK ON YOUR OWN TWO LEGS NOW??? Is she shipping Sam and Amelie? This is getting out of hand

To add insult to injury, the other day I watched this little BBC documentary on the final stages of development for Death Stranding, and of all the people who acted in that game who showed up at the studio when they were filming it?

Exactly.

Okay I'm exaggerating - the mission is stressful because it's timed, the champagne bottle is indeed quite fragile and damages easily, and the music theme subtly puts you on edge (kudos to Ludvig Forssell who truly is the unsung hero of this game, even more so now that I've seen the documentary I linked above. Lol), so you're running for your life while simultaneously thinking "okay but what is the worst that could happen? That fucker gets a cold pizza?" and if you think about it that's some top tier trolling disguised as game design.

Still made time for a stop at the hot spring right before delivering my package though. No thermal pool will remain untested while I'm in charge of Sam's life

THEORY TIME: this sort of shit combined with the "should we have connected?" tagline is why I am convinced that Bridges or some other corporation will end up being the real villain of DS2

Certainly not this beautiful angel, this people's princess, this little meow meow
